09 28 APPOINTED TEACHER
Teachers for
the Quarter / Our City Schools
The Board of
Education met on Friday evening last and made choice of the following persons
as teachers for the quarter commencing the first of next month. Mr.
R. L. Reed, Miss O. A. Pease, first ward high school. Mr. Theodore Bernhard, Mr. W. H. Rohr,
Miss H. M. Cooley, second ward high school. Miss F. I. DeGraff, Miss
Augusta O. Vestey, third ward. Mr. Alexander Koeplin, fourth
ward. Miss Mary Ann Collins, fifth ward. Miss Susan E.
Hadley, six ward. Miss Sarah Forsyth, seventh ward. Miss
Ann Smith, Richards’ district. Miss Irene Merriman, first ward
primary school.
Some of the
teachers also named have been engaged in the schools here for some time past
and given good satisfaction. We think the Board of Education did
well in retaining them. With a competent corps of teachers, such as
the above, and an efficient board, seconded at all times by a thoroughgoing,
indefatigable worker as superintendent, we do not see why our city schools
should not continue to prosper. They certainly will start off under
favorable auspices, and we see nothing to interfere with their prosperity and
success. WR

07 28 A CARD
[same date] Agreeable to the wishes of several
citizens who have spoken with me on this subject, I have determined to give
instruction to such classes as I may be able to form during vacation. I shall also give private lessons in the
languages and scientific branches. I
wish to form the classes so as to commence the course of instruction the 1st of
August. Those wishing to communicate
with me upon this subject will find me either at the School House in the Second
ward or at my residence in the rear of the School House. – Theodore Bernhard. WD
